I bought this from GOG a short while ago, and can't for the life of me work out how I missed this game when it first came out. It's like Thief and Deus Ex all rolled together. Creeeeepy, too.

I'm getting my derriere kicked, though. Ne xt playthrough I'll do better. Right now I have almost no health and just enough PSI to give myself one shot of invisibility to make a break for it to the main elevator, and then....????

Reminds me of my first Thief game, stuck inthe Lost City with two health points left, a few water arrows, and prowling Fire Elementals.

System Shock 2 with these mods is as close to a perfect gaming experience as you can get. I had more fun when I played it (a few weeks ago) than I have had with any game in the last ten years. Everything is so good. The atmosphere, the level design and especially the sound design (made by Eric Brosious, the same guy that worked on Thief).

Glad you found this game out.

One of the things I liked the most is that you really have to make use of your resources, as there are a finite number of them. More than once I've had to just adapt the "better flight than fight"-approach; the game design FORCED me to it, and I loved it.

What kind of character are you playing?

Yes, I'm being forced to fight, which is a drag because I am playing a PSI user who has no real fighting ability (other than being able to smack a zombie on the head with a wrench, which is not very helpful against a bot). It's like pitting a mage/thief with no spells left against a fighter. I get that you have to husband resources, but the hypos don't give you much PSI. Anyway, next time I play I'll take a few points in a weapon just for those tough spots where I have no PSI left.

So now I'm starting my second run through, again with PSI powers, but this time with a better idea of how to collect and use resources. I will also give myself a couple of levels of Exotic Weapon as soon as I can because that was a life saver later in my game.
